Your post does not disclose what the activity is done there. Are you paid a salary? Do you have specific working hours? How many employees/retainers are there in your organization?
In a non-profit organization, what is the need for employees? Why pay a salary in a non-profit organization? Can you ask members to be present from 9 am to 5 pm in a non-profit organization? Can anyone request a leave letter when a retainer is absent from duty?
It is common for establishments to state that they do not aim for profit. However, even though cooperative organizations have a non-profit and mutual help approach, they still charge interest on advances, sometimes more than traditional banks.
If your establishment conducts business, issues bills, and charges GST or other taxes, it is generating income. Consequently, the organization will hire employees, and the term "retainers" may just be a title to avoid certain labor law obligations. Please provide detailed information about your role and the contractual nature of your relationship with the establishment.

As Rightly mentioned by Madhu Sir, if you are an employee you are entitled for Maternity Benefits, otherwise not. In Aga Khan foundation I have seen employees getting Maternity Benefits

What does "retainer" mean? Are they employees or promoters? If they are salaried persons, are they eligible for all the benefits granted under the Shops & Commercial Establishment Act and Rules of your state? The maternity leave entitlement is 26 weeks.
Thank you.
